3 美国FDA认定为GRAS产品
Generally recognized as safe (GRAS) is an American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designation that a chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by experts, and so is exempted from the usual Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) food additive tolerance requirements.[1] The concept of food additives being "generally recognized as safe" was first described in the Food Additives Amendment of 1958, and all additives introduced after this time had to be evaluated by new standards.
这个认定说明番茄红素是安全的。
4 目前还未能获得美国“FDA”的认证。FDA目前认为番茄红素可能是减少前列腺癌、高血压和心脏的风险的抗氧剂中的一种或者在上述过程中起综合作用,但是未承认番茄红素有抗癌作用,理由是研究不足。
FDA是在接到制造商要求在产品说明和宣传材料上印制有抗癌作用的申请时作出这样的回复。
目前很多针对番茄红素抗癌和其它方面的研究正在进行。
